Sargento Foods' Newest Balanced Snacks Pair Protein with Sweets

Following the launch of its Balanced Breaks last year, Sargento Foods is now introducing a variation on these healthy, balanced snacks.

While the first Balanced Breaks paired cubes of cheese with dried berries and nuts, the all-new Sweet Balanced Breaks feature added pieces of dark chocolate, graham crackers, banana chips and yogurt-flavored drops to cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. As such, these on-the-go snack sets satisfy with less than 200 calories per serving and supply five to seven grams of protein.

Knowing that many consumers are looking for satisfying, protein-rich snacks, but also a way to sate their sweet tooth, brands are introducing two-in-one snacks that provide a sampling of nuts, cheese and meat with fruits and chocolate. Other notable examples of this include Tanka Trail selling jerky and trail mix in the same bag, and Kraft's Snack Trios.
